Celebrating its 10th anniversary, Progfest is the ultimate annual gathering for progressive music fans and prog as a genre is one of the nation’s fastest growing. Presented by Welkin Entertainment and Wild Thing Presents, next year’s Progfest is set to be the biggest yet with the lineup featuring The Ocean, Monuments, Skyharbor (who will make their Australian debut) and many more to be announced.

The annual gathering features the best in progressive music from prog, post, psychedelic, art rock, metal and everything in between, showcasing the best in the band’s musical fields.  The festival began in December 2008 and has quickly become one of Australia’s main attractions in the progressive and heavy music spectrum, expanding the minds and hearts of music lovers around Australia. The festival has featured the likes of Ne Obliviscaris, Caligula’s Horse, sleepmakeswaves and Twelve Foot Ninja, with each band reaching further success on the ARIA Mainstream music charts and expanding their dominance on global music success.

Germany’s legendary post-metal act The Ocean and UK’s djent-groove metal pioneers Monuments will share headlining duties across all 3 Progfest festivals, along with India’s finest progressive rock export Skyharbor, who will be making their first-ever appearances on Australian shores.
